Filter Forge - Sample Along Curves

Active Topics Search

MikeChr Mike Chr Posts: 2	Hi. For the purposes of driving animations, I would like to sample the value of a curve at point 0 -> 1 producing a float output. For example, I want to build a 30 frame animation and want to drive the Perlin Noise (Map) Component's variation input with a number sampled from a Noise Curve. With sampling I could use the current frame to sample the curve as a percentage (current frame / total frame) and obtain the curve's value at that point as a float. Is there some method of doing this? Thanks!

Another way to randomize the Perlin Noise is to offset it by a random amount for each frame. You can feed the Normalized Time into a Tone Curve to sample a curve from 0 to 1. Might need to put something like Assemble HLS before the Tone Curve.
